...sits in the evolutionary tree -- can be settled only with more fieldwork. The team is returning to Ethiopia next month, to the site, hoping to find parts of other skeletons and uncover more clues about the Ethiopian environment of 4.4 million years ago. Says White: "We're going to crawl on our hands and knees, looking for every giraffe, pig, bird, rodent, seed and any other fossil we can find." Humanity has just added half a million years to its heritage; perhaps the next expedition will give scientists a better idea of how much further back our line of ancestors...
...actually seem to like them. Melissa Hill, a fifth- grader at Socorro's O'Shea Keleher School, had her initial doubts about year-round schooling. "But now I like it a lot," she says. "When I used to wake up in the morning, I felt like I wanted to crawl back in bed. I think it encourages kids to go to school because you always know that you're going to be on break soon."

Using a video camera attached to a microscopic lens, Chambers has watched in wonder as melanoma and breast-cancer cells, injected into mice, become lodged in capillary walls, then crawl out into the liver. Three days later, her camera resolves the spidery shapes of tiny metastatic growths. The lesson, Chambers believes, is depressingly clear. Cancer cells zip in and out of blood vessels so readily that, once angiogenesis occurs, they should be presumed to have already spread around the body...
